Katka offered us her service for TEDxPrague 2016 and we’ve been really satisfied by her level of expertise, careful preparation, interest and wholeheartedness. Our format is a multidisciplinary conference, so it is extra demanding to serve under everchanging topics. It’s been a pleasure and we’d love to cooperate again!

We used Katerina’s interpreting services during a recent series of hospital department site visits in the Czech Republic – which is part of a major international research project. Katerina is a good and reliable interpreter. Additionally, she has a highly professional approach, a good “sense of situation” and ability to interpret proficiently even within complex research areas. These are key abilities with any interpreter that we work with. We can warmly recommend her.

Kateřina Ešnerová has interpreted a number of important and prestigious events organized by the Embassy of Sweden in Czechia. […] Her performance was highly professional and flawless when interpreting both simultaneously and consecutively, into English and into Czech. She masterfully navigated specialized topics as well as breakneck speed of the debates without omitting anything important. […] Her presentation is very pleasant and charismatic, she doesn’t waver or stumble the entire time. Kateřina Ešnerová is among our most trusted partners, whom we are happy to turn to and enjoy our cooperation with.
